Veertu is a simple, light, and secure virtualization software designed for Mac. With Veertu you can run your favorite Window or Linux distribution directly on OS X. Veertu is powered by Hypervisor framework and runs entirely in sandbox, eliminating the need for root permissions and kernel extensions. Veertu leaves all CPU and power management to OS X which knows how to preserve the battery best. I'm not a lawyer but it's not a matter of 1 or 2 OS X instances or buying the Family pack. It's that a guest OS running on a Mac is not on native Apple-branded hardware it's on a virtual VMware or VirtualBox-branded system (BIOS or bootstrapped EFI). Veertu is using OS X's new hypervisor frameworks, they aren't installing kexts like VMware or Parallels do, and they're leaving CPU scheduling to OS X. The app is 20MB, that should speak for itself. As for use cases, can you not imagine where someone might need a VM for something but not require a. It's available since version 10.10 (Yosemite), provides a thin user mode abstraction of the Intel VT features, enables apps to use virtualization without the need of a kernel extension (KEXT), which finally could make them compatible with the OS X App Store guidelines. Performance has to be evaluated, though.
